Handedness in autistic children

K M Colby et al. J Autism Child Schizophr. 1977 Mar.

Abstract

A test of handedness in a sample of 20 autistic children and 25 normal children revealed marked differences. The frequency of non-right-handedness in normal children was 12%, whereas it was 65% in autistic children. The significance of this difference for the etiology of autism is discussed.
